Racist Muslim immigrant to California kills his two young daughters following custody dispute. Dead daughters participated in local Muslim activities such as Muslim Girl Scouts. The Tunisian's American wife converted to Islam, but Rouin said no one would listen to him, that "my wife is white, so I've lost already"-Sacramento Bee, Al Arabiya

"American mother Amy Hunter arrived at a parking lot near her home in
West Sacramento on New Year’s Eve to pick up her daughters, Sara, 9 and
Sophie, 12, only to find them dying beside the corpse of their father.

The car was parked at the designated drop-off point for the girls, near West Sacramento’s City Hall in the US.

The
mother described her ex-husband Rouin as an abusive man and heavy
drinker who had hit her, and threatened her to take the girls away to
Tunisia, according to sacbee.com.

The mother who converted to Islam, and other
family and friends from her Islamic religious community gathered on
Tuesday evening for a vigil where she lived with her little girls.

She
filed for divorce in December 2014 and it was finalized in December
2016. Rouin was allowed supervised visits once a week with his girls
after completing a court-ordered parenting class.

The
father gradually got access to the girls and was allowed unsupervised
visits as he was listed as having joint legal custody in a November 2016
document, while the mother retained sole physical custody."

Jenkins said Hunter is in a state
of shock, but is being supported by her mother, who flew in from Las
Vegas, and other family and friends from her Islamic religious
community. About 100 people gathered Tuesday evening for a vigil in
front of the Casa Mobile Park, where Hunter lived with her daughters....

Leaders of the Muslim community Tuesday mourned the loss of the girls
and struggled to understand why Rouin would have killed them.

Imam M.A. Azeez of Tarbiya
Institute mosque spoke at the vigil Tuesday evening. He said it took him
half an hour to summon the strength to tell his daughter two of her
best friends were dead. Rouin was rarely seen at Tarbiya
or the Salam mosques that his family attended, said Azeez and Metwalli
Amer, founder and president of Salam. Azeez said he tried to mediate the
couple’s protracted custody battle.

Rouin was deeply concerned with
in the pro-democracy movements in Tunisia and Egypt, Azeez said. “He was
extremely consumed with Tunisia and the revolution and its aftermath,
and was always talking about Arab Spring.”

Rouin’s Facebook page lists no job. It features a photo of him smoking a cigarette in front of a No Smoking sign.

Hunter, his ex-wife, was very
involved at Salam Academy, the full-time Islamic study center that her
daughters attended before it closed last May, Amer said.

“She used to be a full-time
teacher there, and also worked at our bookstore for a number of years,”
Amer said. “She served on Salam Academy’s education board and helped
with bake sales and fundraisers.” Amer said Rouin would show up, but
Hunter kept him at a distance.

Hunter filed for divorce in
December 2014, six months after she filed the first of several temporary
restraining orders against Rouin. In a declaration filed with the
court, Hunter described a constant stream of threats and verbal and
sometimes physical abuse.

She said Rouin, whom she married
in Las Vegas in 1999, worked a variety of part-time jobs, usually as a
limo driver, but frequently missed work because of his heavy drinking.

“He always told me his drinking
was my fault.....and that it was my fault he couldn’t get a job,” she
said in her court declaration.

According to Hunter’s
declaration, Rouin was arrested for being drunk and disorderly in
Henderson, Nev., in 2009, soliciting a prostitute in West Sacramento in
2010, domestic violence while intoxicated in West Sacramento in 2014,
and violating his temporary restraining order several times starting in
2014.

Rouin denied all of Hunter’s
allegations of abuse, requested joint custody and alleged Hunter had
made up the charges “to gain a tactical advantage in the custody and
dissolution proceedings.”Their divorce was finalized in December 2016.

As of July 2014, Rouin was
allowed only supervised visits once a week with his children. But he
completed a court-ordered parenting class and gradually had his access
to the girls increased. As of 2016, he was allowed unsupervised visits.

Rouin was listed as having joint legal custody in a November 2016 document, while Hunter retained sole physical custody.

In August 2017, Rouin was
arrested for violating a temporary restraining order and a criminal
protective order based on a pending charge of domestic violence, as well
as for contempt of court, according to court records. It was on that
charge that he was scheduled to appear in court on Tuesday."...
